The Return of the Bearded Lady

I know, I know, it’s hard to contain your excitement. Sarah Palin’s book is finally in the bookstores.

Run, run, run – the other way!

What do you think of the big crowd she got in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I was asked on MSNBC.

Big deal, was my response. Americans always love a freak show. They turned out to see the bearded lady and the two-headed calf. They’ll turn out to see Sarah Barracuda.

But what do they get and where’s this train going? Nothing and nowhere.

If they’re dumb enough to buy the book, they get no ideas on all the big issues facing America, because she doesn’t have any. Instead, they get nothing but a string of complaints about the 2008 campaign, all of which she blames on McCain staffers. Nothing was her fault, of course.

And, once the book tour’s over, once the crowds disappear, this train’s going back to the station. Empty. Because nobody but the lunatic fringe takes Sarah Palin seriously.

Not even Republicans are dumb enough to nominate her for president. She proved she wasn’t ready to be vice-president in 2010. She’s even less ready to be president in 2012.

That’s my parting shot for today.
